During the Xbox Partner Preview March 2024 live stream, 11 bit studios announced that Frostpunk 2 will launch for PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG on 25 July 2024, followed by PS5 and Xbox Series X/S at a later date.It will be available for PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass upon release.

The Digital Deluxe Edition will include the base game, seven-day beta access to part of the Sandbox mode in April, three paid post-release downloadable contents, exclusive access to the story mode 72 hours before the official release, the “Warm Flesh” digital novella, and a digital art book and soundtrack.

Diving even deeper into the post-apocalyptic abyss, Frostpunk 2 builds upon the foundations that made its predecessor a triumph. It thrusts players into a world of unyielding realities and complex social dilemmas within an ever-expanding city. With a broader scope and expansion in every aspect of the gameplay mechanics, Frostpunk 2 escalates the tension as you steer the City and its inhabitants into an uncertain future.

Much of that tension comes from introducing different factions within the City walls vying for allegiance among its citizens. Will you bend your decisions to the survivalist nature of the Icebloods, advocates of adaptation over development? Or will you side with the methodical Technocrats, champions of technological progress? Perhaps, you might even side with one of the more radicalized groups you’ll meet in-game. It’s up to you – the City’s Steward.
